AIRBOY COMICS Volume 2

First soaring into action in 1942, Airboy is a young aviator hero co-created by Charles Biro and published by Hillman from 1942 to the 1950s, revived with new adventures in the 1980s & 90s and again in the 2000-teens. Airboy flies a distinctive, bird-shaped aircraft named Birdie, engaging in daring adventures against wartime foes, criminals, and supernatural threats. The backup features are all air-oriented with more flying heroes: The Flying Dutchman, Sky Wolf, The Iron Ace etc. Above average artwork and stories, a fun title. Known for its patriotic themes and dynamic aerial battles, Airboy became a standout series of the era, capturing readers' imaginations with its unique blend of aviation heroism and youthful determination. Soon after this The Heap became an Airboy Comics backup feature that got so popular he often took over the cover shot. The Heap, much like Swamp Thing, was ace pilot who crashed (and died, kind of) in a swamp and ended up  a swamp monster but always on the side of good. Also art by Charles Winter, Al Jaffee (Mad favorite), Art Helfantand art attributed to DC stalwart Frank Giacoia.
